Who is left outThe EU, plus Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein (the whole EEA). Google's exclusion names only the EEA, so the UK and Switzerland are not left out. Gemini Notebook itself works in the EU, but its notebooks cannot be opened, made or used inside AI Mode there.

Clock started19 Aug 2026. Google announced on 19 Aug 2026 that notebooks in AI Mode were rolling out over the coming days to more than 180 countries, in English.

Backed by3 first-hand sources (the company or the EU), from 4 publishers: Google, 9to5google.com, chromeunboxed.com, keywordseverywhere.com.
Watching for arrivalOn each check run we re-read every source a script can open. Pages that block scripts are read by hand when we research that timer, and the date above shows when. Check runs are started by hand, not on a schedule. We also scan the company's news feed for this feature. If the proof above disappears, the next run flags the timer and we research it that day.
Change log
  • 5 Nov 2026 Google's supported list names the UK, and the exclusion is EEA only.
  • 5 Nov 2026 More exact on what EU users miss; added Google's supported-countries page.
  • 5 Nov 2026 Added Chrome Unboxed ("excluding the EEA") and the Keywords Everywhere tracker as independent publishers that back the EEA exclusion. This closes the one-publisher weak spot. No change to the public wording.
  • 5 Nov 2026 New timer. Google's help page read today excludes the EEA. Start date is Google's 19 Aug 2026 post. No independent press source found for who is left out, so this has one publisher only: a known weak spot. Google's own footnote and help page agree. 9to5Google confirms the launch date but does not mention the EEA, so it is not tagged as backing who is left out.
